How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 62 ÷ 100 = 0.62
- Multiply: 0.62 × 16 = 9.92
- Check: Work backwards: 9.92 ÷ 16 × 100 = 62%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 62/100 = part/16, so part = 62 × 16 ÷ 100 = 9.92. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =62%*16. Forgetting to divide the percentage by 100 makes the answer 100 times too big. Note that x% of y always equals y% of x.
What the result means
9.92 is the 62% share of 16. The remaining 38% is 6.08, and the two parts add back up to 16.
Discounts: 62% off an item priced $16 saves $9.92, so you pay $6.08.
Adding and taking away 62%
Increasing 16 by 62% gives 25.92 and decreasing it by 62% gives 6.08. These do not cancel out: raising 16 by 62% and then lowering the result by 62% ends at 9.8496, because the second 62% is taken of a bigger number.
